Kitchen peninsula clearance - how big?
Comments (7)I think the gap as discussed previously on your other post, is big enough. You would be best to get your Kitchen designer to do a 3d render for you so that you can see it how it is and then make up your mind. I think aesthetically wise that if you have your peninsula across exactly half the space that it may look better, and not have a lot to do with the access size....See MoreKitchen peninsula too close to door...
Comments (25)sheesh I thought with a rectangular shaped kitchen things would be simple! This is definitely a learning process! I think if if we Switched to the 600 mm cabinet instead of the 900 corner unit we’d have to have a 50 mm ’filler’ unit or something to allow the over door to open enough....hopefully I can get him to just hold off on putting more things in until it arrives so we could see how it works....I have such limited time outside of work and don’t have a job I can just swing an hour off from to go to showrooms and thints, so I just ordered the range cooker online after reading reviews. They all seem to come in either 90, 100 or 110 cm, so I just went with the smallest ‘standard’ one. when we first reserved the house I asked if I could modify the kitchen a bit, specifically put a range cooker in. He said no problem (it’s a small local developer, not one of the big companies) and that I could work out all the plans with their kitchen planner....I spent about 2 hours with her and went through a lot more emailing her back and forth to get it right...some good that’s done! im thinking the range cooker along the wall won’t work either unless I lose the peninsula thing altogether because there’s not enough room- which would sacrifice a load of counterspace....unfortunately we need the door to the living room otherwise there’s no way between the kitchen and living room without going outside! The ground floor layout is below although the kitchen plans have since been updated......See MoreKitchen - Island? Peninsula? L-Shaped?
Comments (14)I’ve used the Blum design ideas on several kitchens and they are brilliant in terms of where to put everything in the kitchen: https://www.blum.com/gb/en/ideas/overview/ There’s a design on there for an island kitchen with tall units to one side, worktop to the right (great for coffee making and toaster) with the hob and sink on the island) which we used and it’s the most practical layout ever! I would think about whether you want the dining table to sit right across your access to the garden. Your doors are 3m wide and even an 8-seater table would be about 2.4m so it might look a bit lost in the middle of the space. I would play about with rotating the table to one side of the dining area so that only the head of the table has their back to the garden. Perhaps even look at a table with a built-in bench seat on one side to reduce the number of chair legs. Then, on the other side of the dining space you could have something like a small seating area or bookshelves for a ‘library’ with a view of the garden or a study area etc. I also think at least a couple of bar stools at the island or peninsula are worth considering as they’re so useful for a quick coffee, or glass of wine for a guest while someone cooks. I would also have breakfast cereals, table mats etc in a cupboard facing the dining/ breakfast bar area for easy access in the morning. Good luck!...See MoreKitchen layout island vs peninsula - please help!
Comments (13)A definite possibility. If you have to have the FF in that specific position then the other things will have to work around that. Personally l hate straight corner bases because you have to scramble on your knees to access the corner. Could you swap that for a 900L which will have 2 opening doors and full access into the corner? lt would involve moving some of the units around though. You would have no void/waste of space but would also have to align the wall units up accordingly....See Morebuzzmummy
